Jill Greenberg/RCA RecordsAt this point, pretty much every Kelly Clarkson fan knows the singer wants to have a baby, and she wants to have it now. But surprisingly, it was another pop superstar mother who warned Kelly that her career might suffer if she started a family.

In the new issue of US Weekly magazine, Kelly says that at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, none other than Adele told her that motherhood would trump everything once she started a family. According to Kelly, the British singer, who was making a rare public appearance following the birth of her son, told her, "Girl, don't have a baby 'cause everything else will go on the back burner! I'm living in babyland!" Of course, Kelly says, Adele was just being funny: she loves being a mom to her one-year-old son.

Kelly isn't going to let that dissuade her, anyway: her biological clock is ticking. "My eggs aren't getting young!" she told the magazine. "Brandon has two kids and I want two more."

MJ Kim/MPL Communications Ltd.Paul McCartney has revealed that he recently reached out Russian President Vladimir Putin to ask him to help bring about the release of a group of environmental activists who are being detained in the country. Twenty-eight members of the Greenpeace environmental organization, along with two journalists, were arrested by Russia's coast guard in September while staging a protest at an Arctic oil rig belonging to Russia.

In his letter, McCartney -- a longtime Greenpeace supporter -- explains that he's heard from his "Russian friends that the protesters are being portrayed in some quarters as being anti-Russian, that they were doing the bidding of Western governments, and that they threatened the safety of the people working on that Arctic oil platform." He assures Putin that Greenpeace is not an anti-Russian organization, they don't accept money from governments or corporations, "and above all else they are peaceful."

Macca also notes, "In my experience they tend to annoy every government!"

McCartney also maintains that the activists aren't pirates and are willing to face the legal ramifications of their actions, adding, "so could there be a way out of this, one that benefits everybody?"

The Beatles legend says that while he understands that Russia's legal system is separate from its presidency, he asks Putin if he might consider using "whatever influence you have to reunite the detainees with their families."

Sir Paul then references The Beatles' "Back in the USSR," noting that he wrote the tune "back when it wasn't fashionable for English people to say nice things about [Russia]." He points that the song features one of his favorite Beatles lines -- "Been away so long I hardly knew the place, gee it's good to be back home" then asks, "Could you make that come true for the Greenpeace prisoners?"

McCartney ends his plea by telling Putin he hopes they will be able to meet up again in Moscow, "when our schedules allow."

The rock icon reports that he sent the message on October 14 and that Putin has not replied, although Russia's ambassador did respond by noting "that their situation 'is not properly represented in the world media.'"

According to Greenpeace.org, the detainees currently are being held in St. Petersburg and have all been charged with hooliganism.

According to the Huffington Post, Taylor took the stage twice: once to perform "I Knew You Were Trouble," and a second time to sing along with Fall Out Boy on their song "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)." Earlier in the year, Taylor had tweeted how much she liked the song.

During "Trouble," Taylor wore a sexy, sparkly silver minidress and touched hands with Victoria's Secret angels Lily Aldridge, Adriana Lima, Karlie Kloss and Alessandro Ambrosio as she walked by. Performing with Fall Out Boy, Taylor wore a glittery short number with a Union Jack print on it, as well as a tiny matching Union Jack top hat and Union Jack shoes.

"Tonight!! Insane! Glittery catwalk! IS THIS REAL LIFE," Taylor tweeted, and also posted and retweeted several photos of herself posing with all her new supermodel besties. Noting the date of Wednesday's taping was her lucky number, Taylor wrote, "The best things always happen on the 13th!"

Randy Brooke/WireImageWhen Adam Levine and Maroon 5 performed on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show TV special in 2011, Adam was joined onstage by his girlfriend at the time, Victoria's Secret angel Anne Vyalitsyna. Wednesday night in New York City, he was back at the show, cheering from the audience for another Victoria's Secret angel: his fiancee, Behati Prinsloo.

People magazine reports that as the 24-year-old model appeared during the first part of the show, Adam was seen cheering from his front-row seat, along with Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine and some of the couple's other friends. Behati beamed and pumped her arms in the air. Then, during the show's finale, Adam gave his girl a standing ovation as she strutted the catwalk in lingerie and huge angel wings.

Taylor Swift performed at the taping, wearing a sparkly silver minidress and then a Union Jack-inspired ensemble that included matching shoes and a tiny top hat. She sang "I Knew You Were Trouble," and also duetted with pop/rock band Fall Out Boy.

And speaking of besties, Taylor's friend Hayley Williams of Paramore was so impressed with a photo of Taylor in the silver outfit that she tweeted, "Taylor I am now convinced you are secretly a Vicki's secret model...look at you!!" To which Taylor replied, "LOVE YOU, that was such a nice thing to say PS you're on the radio allthetime...asking me if I'm gonna stay the night."

That last comment, of course, is a reference to the fact that Hayley sings on Zedd's latest hit "Stay the Night." To which Hayley responded, "hopefully not coming on too strong!"

During Justin's concert in Buenos Aires, fans threw two Argentine flags onstage, but as video shows, Justin swept them off the stage using his shoes and a microphone stand. After outraged fans attacked the singer on Twitter, Justin wrote, "Heard about what is going on with me down in Argentina and im shocked.

Tim CadienteMaynard James Keenan isn’t happy it’s taking Tool a long time to put together their follow-up to 2006's 10,000 Days. The singer says his band mates, who write all the music to pair with his lyrics, are the main reason why it tends to take the group years to record an album.

"I wait for them to bring music to me,” Keenan tells Rolling Stone. “They tend to go back over and over stuff. It's a long process. For a person like me, it can be a very tedious process."

Keenan adds his band mates have a habit of scrutinizing everything they come up with during the songwriting process, which the singer notes can be frustrating. "In some ways, they are bigger perfectionists,” he explains. “They don't have to go through it 700 times. They can trust that first thought. But that's their process, so you gotta let them do it."

While Tool has been rumored to be working on the new record for months now, an album title and release date have yet to be revealed.

Facebook.com/ImagineDragonsImagine Dragons explores an old conspiracy theory in the new video for “On Top of the World,” the latest single from the band’s debut album, Night Visions.

In the four-minute clip, the band portrays a group of eccentric astronauts who fake the first manned moon landing in 1969. The guys kiss their wives and families goodbye, then head to a sound stage where they film their supposed journey into space surrounded by a film crew and President Richard Nixon. The broadcast hits a snag when a group of female fans storm the sound stage to watch the guys perform “On Top of the World” on the moon, but since everyone in enjoying the performance, no one seems to care the fact their trip into space was a hoax.

"We had a good time shooting this video,” says the group in a joint statement. “It was inspired by some of our favorite movies, bands, and directors. We've always been into conspiracy theories, so we thought we'd create one of our own."

Imagine Dragons is currently trekking across the U.S. promoting Night Visions. Visit ImagineDragonsMusic.com to view the full itinerary.

Adam Rose/FoxIf you think it's about time that Glee acknowledged two of the biggest music stars of 2013 -- Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus -- then you'll be thrilled with Thursday night's episode, called "The End of Twerking."

Both "Blurred Lines" and "Wrecking Ball" figure prominently in the episode, which starts when a video of Blaine twerking goes viral. Mr. Schue is then inspired to incorporate the dance into New Directions' routine for Nationals, to make them more "edgy." When the kids complain that they don't know how to twerk, Jake and Kitty are enlisted to teach them. Predictably, Principal Sue objects to the sexually explicit dance move, leading the kids to stage a protest.

In the midst of this, Marley finds out that Jake is cheating on her with Bree, the evil Cheerio, and Unique raises the issue of gender equality in the school's bathrooms.

Meanwhile, in New York, Rachel and Kurt decide to get "edgy" themselves and visit a tattoo parlor, with disastrous results.
